Why Science Can’t Replace Religion

[intaglio]

17. What happens when the "unexplainable" is explained

Science does not replace religion - it just renders it obsolete.

You state, with no supporting evidence, your opinion but you fail to identify in what areas the things that cannot be explained are to be found.

Morality? Mathematics, neurology, population genetics and behavioural science are closing in on that problem.
Feelings of spirituality? again neurology but also psychology and developmental biology all seem to be opening that door.
Consciousness, personality, identity are all starting to be examined with some results.

Where does that leave religion? Examining the unsolved problems of mathematics? Finding more slender cracks between the keys? Or does it just proclaim the triumph of ignorance and state "there are questions which can never be answered so don't try to answer them!"
